I should have checked on that. I booked my flights and work schedule to get me back into Calgary for the 19th just to get out for the ride, which forces me to fly back and be out of town on the 26th. :crybaby:

Note to self:

Self, check the schedule for future guided rides!
The voices are back. Awesome!

Does anybody want to have an unauthorized guided ride this week on wednesday evening? We want to ride that night anyway. Let me know, we plan to go to the usual spot at the end loop at north Mclean.
There are 3 of us so far...6pm...

Good to see he spirit of the rides will live on this Wednesday night. I thought the posted schedule was pretty obvious :confused: I hope to have the June ride schedule up next week. If it isn't posted there isn't a ride. The June 30th ride may be up in the air due to the holiday July 1. Keep an eye on the Guided rides sections for details

You guys still on for a ride at 6pm? I assume what you refer to as the northern end loop is the same as the West Mclean Staging Area shown on the guided rides staging map posted by absurveyor.

Go out hwy 22x/68? to the Mclean turn off and pass the store and keep right. Go to the end and there is a loop. We will be there. We have a couple ktm 2t's and a Husaberg 570. Grey dodge 2500 and a Chevy 2500.

I'm trying to get back to Calgary in time for the ride but my phone keeps making this terrible ringing noise. If I can't get out of here soon I'll miss my flight.
The voices are back. Awesome!
